Patient's question:
It has already started, but only the external genital area was a bit itchy, with small bumps under the labia. Besides the pain, it gradually felt like there was more discharge today. It feels especially abundant and has a bad odor. The discharge is watery, yellow, and has a bad smell, accompanied by external genital itching?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned, candidiasis, is generally caused by a lack of vitamins, frequent use of medication for cleaning, public towels, some anti-inflammatory drugs, and pregnancy, among other factors. It is a common gynecological infectious disease that often causes discomfort such as itching and burning pain. Changes in the vaginal pH, such as using alkaline medications to clean the vagina, can alter the environment in which the fungus thrives. For patients, if the condition of vulvar itching is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent vulvar itching. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. The answers to the above questions can help everyone.
